Synopsis:

Science is powerless to answer the most important question of all: Is the universe a friendly place, supportive of human hopes? The 23rd Psalm, with its image of the Lord as our shepherd, responds to that concern. It gives an answer, not in theological language, but in well chosen images, and we respond to its optimism as much as to the beauty of its language. It comforts but its message goes well beyond comfort. It teaches us to look at the world we live in clearly, without illusions. The world may be a frightening place but it becomes less frightening when we know that God is there with us. At time of deep confusion, fear and war, this meditation brings hope and Rabbi Kushner weaves his own magic to interpret this Psalm for a new generation.
